Red Box- Anthology 1980-1990
The first comprehensive overview of the band's initial run which technically began with Cherry Red issuing the band's debut single 'Chenko' in 1983. For this box set frontman and mainstay Simon Toulson-Clarke undertook a deep dive into his archives and discovered 11 previously unreleased demos from 1980-1982. As well as the previously unreleased audio, Simon was also able to provide a treasure trove of unseen photos from the very earliest days of the band all the way through to 1990. Disc One contains the band's debut album 'The Circle & the Square' as well as seven bonus tracks that include both sides of their debut single as well as other rarities. Disc Two includes sophomore album 'Motive' as well as five rare bonus tracks. Disc Three is comprised of 12 hard to find alternative mixes including Paul Oakenfold's remix of 'Enjoy'. Disc Four contains the eleven previously unreleased demos from 1980-1982. Red Box initially came to prominence in the 1980s with UK Top Ten hits 'Lean on Me (Ah-Li- Ayo)' in 1985 and 'For America' in 1986. Both of these tracks were included on debut album 'The Circle & the Square' in 1986 (WEA), which would be followed by 1990's 'Motive' (EastWest), with no further albums forthcoming until 'Plenty' (2010) on Cherry Red Records.
